“Hmm,” Leyla said thoughtfully, stroking her chin, “it’s probably about how we train and what our goals are. First and foremost, we focus on combat training, like for tournaments. Nira spent a lot of time practicing shooting at the range in her free time; I think she and her friends won almost all the prizes. That’s also a form of training. Ixora and I regularly spar, although I can’t figure out why she has so much bad luck in tournaments. As far as I know, even Barbarian participated in a preliminary mini-tournament with her friends. And Gideon was a finalist last time. I think that’s the key. A significant part of our physical training, where it plays a role, is aimed at honing combat skills. As a result, we become quite good fighters, but such focus comes at a price. In our case, we paid for it with our performance in sports competitions. We turned out to be rather mediocre runners, and I don’t even want to talk about swimming – even I, a proud Taimanian, swam like a log. But in your case, it’s the opposite – you performed very well in the Miss Siege exams, probably one of the best athletes in the academy. I think that’s where the difference lies, in these priorities. So, I think it would make sense for us to combine our efforts in training. There’s a lot we can learn from each other.
